About Me

I come from the countryside in the Netherlands. Already from a young age I have been a creative doer. My father was a carpenter, when he worked in his workshop in the weekends, I used to be set up with a hammer, nails and leftover wood to create whatever I pleased.
Like my father, I’m a maker and love the practical side of photography.

I’m glad I learned the craft as photographer in the traditional way, at the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague. My passion started with making portaits, though more recently I have started to enjoy photographing landscapes and stills.

After working in my home country for about 15 years,
now Raglan at the wild west coast in New Zealand is my home.
